The Fall of the Roman Republic

Roman History, Books 36-40

By: Cassius Dio

That was how things stood in the city at the time. With no one in charge, murders were taking place almost every day and the elections could not be held.' Books 36-40 of the Roman History by Cassius Dio (born ca. 163 CE), covers 69-50 BCE, the last twenty years before the Roman Republic collapsed in a long series of civil wars, leading to the monarchy of the emperors. Although Dio's history was written over 250 years later, it provides the fullest surviving account of this crucial period in Roman history and is a key source of information on many of the chief developments. Dio fashions his account of these years to foreshadow the coming civil war, exposing the violence and corruption of the political life of the time, and portraying the gradual eclipse of the great general Pompey by his younger rival Caesar. Robin Waterfield's lively and up-to-date translation is accompanied by an introduction by John Rich, which sets Dio's work in its context and explores both literary and historical features of the text, and his portraits of major characters such as Pompey, Cicero, and Caesar. This edition also includes full explanatory notes, a glossary, and maps of Central Rome, Gaul, and the East. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

The Poetics

By: Aristotle

ARISTOTLE wrote at least two great studies in literature of which one is the incomoplete Poetic (Poetics) - a work of literary criticism. Of it the part on Comedy does not exist, and that on Epic is mutliated, but we have Aristotle's treatment of Greed tragedy - it's history, nature, and requirements, with some details on the origin of poetry and on poetic diction. LONGINUS, Cassius (c.A.D. 213-273) was a rhetoricician and philosophical critic born in syria. He studied at Alexandria and, at Athens, taught for thirty years, becoming famous for his learning. He was an old-style Platonist. To him is doubtfully ascribed the striking work On the Sublime, really a treatise on distinguished style. DEMETRIUS of Phalerum (c.354-283 B.C.) was a statesman, orator and philosopher of Athens who ruled Athens for Cassander, 317-307 B.C. When democracy was restored, he fled to Egypt where he was protected by Ptolemy I, but quarrelled with Ptolemy II. To him is ascribed a treatise on rhetorical expression or style included in this volume. It really belongs to a much later date."--Jacket.
